Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has been spotted wearing the most expensive Rolex watch ever - the Rolex GMT Master Ice. The watch dons 30 carats of white diamonds and 18-karat white gold. Ronaldo was seen sporting the watch at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, and in an Instagram post cuddling up to partner Georgina Rodriguez. The watch cost almost $500,000, reportedly $485,000. This is the priciest watch Rolex has made for public consumption. A watch connoisseur Cristiano is. He is known to possess a $1.5 million Franck Muller and a Jacob & Co. limited edition worth $130,000. Worth noting, Cristiano was the world's second-highest earning athlete in the 2010s, beating Lionel Messi in earnings. Boxing ace Floyd Mayweather was the highest earning athlete of the decade. Ronaldo returns to action with Juventus on Monday when they host Cagliari in Serie A.

Cristiano Ronaldo attended the Dubai International Sports Conference on Saturday, December 28, and made exciting revelations about his retirement plans. Talking at the Dubai International Sports Conference, he said:  'When I quit football I would like to resume my studies. I focus a lot on studying, on learning, because unfortunately the studies I have done can't give answer all the questions I have in mind. 'One thing that fascinates me is to want to try acting in a film.' He however insisted that he doesn't plan on retiring yet, but would listen to his body and hang his boots when the time is right. 'I have never had a bad season in my life, since I am always ready to face challenges,' he said in Dubai.  'I always play with the intention of winning. The moment my body no longer responds in the right way on the pitch, then it will be time for me to stop. 'Many years ago the ideal age to retire was 30 or 32, now you still see players a...

Cristiano Ronaldo attended a Globe Soccer Awards event on Saturday, the 28th of December - the Dubai International Sports Conference. During the event, he stressed that he has nothing more to prove to the world having won numerous trophies and individual awards. "There are no secrets or miracles," said the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. "It's not a coincidence that I have won in all the places I have been. "When you are a champion, you always win. "Without much work, without dedication and passion for what yo do, you can't get everything; trophies, records and statistics. "But the most important thing is to always keep the motivation to maintain this high level. "I no longer have to prove anything to anyone but myself and my family. Now, I have to enjoy this."

In a recent interview, Lionel Messi revealed the secret behind his excellent free-kick taking and the influence Samuel Eto'o's advice had on his game. “I always remember the day that Eto’o told me: ‘When you start scoring goals, you won’t stop.’  And then one day the lid opened, one went in and then everything started to go in. Because before that I was getting a lot of chances but I wasn’t taking them.”  You're obviously eager to know what the secret to the free-kick precision is - well, Leo says "it's all about learning and training." He said, "It’s true that I’ve been studying goalkeeping a bit more lately, and above all when taking free kicks  I watch to see if the keeper moves, if he takes a step in either direction. It’s all about learning and training . I’ve been improving my free kicks with practice.” Messi's focus when he steps onto the pitch is the game, and not goal-scoring, as he said “I am less focused on scoring goals and more...

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have pretty much dominated tennis like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have with football. In men's tennis, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have a combined 29 Grand Slams. Rafael Nadal's French Open and US triumphs have taken him to 19 Grand Slam titles, only one behind Roger Federer. In football, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have won 11 of the last 12 Ballon d'Or awards, with Messi taking the upper hand (six out of 12). Nadal has been likened to Ronaldo because they both share a crazy drive to win and powerful physiques. Federer has been likened to Messi as they are both serene, graceful and have extraordinary finesse. Nadal however does not share that opinion as he told Marca.com,  “No comparison is possible. They are two completely different sports and Messi’s characteristics are not those of Federer nor are those of Cristiano like mine. Each one is as he is.” Regarding the probability of Nadal catching up...
